For healing, learn more and sign the pledge at working with cancer pledge.com. Well good evening everyone. Welcome to Stitchfield. We are one away, one hour away from that ransom deadline for Savannah Guthrie, the host of the Today Show's mother for $6 billion one hour from now. The $6 billion supposed to be sent via bitcoin, but this is all very odd because communication between the alleged abductors has been few and far between. There is no proof of life. It makes me believe this ransom may be a hoax. Now, what do the police know in all of this? We can't really be sure. They tell us they don't have much. They tell us they don't have many suspects. That doesn't mean that's the case. They just. It may mean they're holding all of this very close to the vest. My prediction, though, in all of this is that this case is about to take a very eye popping turn, an unexpected turn. I do believe law enforcement, along with the FBI, will be able to solve this case. But things are getting dire. How do we know this? Because Savannah Guthrie released a new video today. Check this out. We believe our mom is still out there. We need your help. Law enforcement is working tirelessly around the clock trying to bring her home, trying to find her. She was taken and we don't know where, and we need your help. It is a very somber message from the Guthrie family. I can only imagine what they're going for. We pray for all of them. Now, this $6 million ransom that's due, will they pay it? In some respects, the. The abductor or whoever sent the note tipped his hand because they gave a real bitcoin wallet, address and bitcoin. According to the New York Post, the experts they've talked to can be tracked, though it is very difficult. And they wonder if the Pima county sheriff's office has the ability to do that. I would think the FBI would. Now, there are some other interesting developments as this investigation, I don't want to say turns inward, but any investigation. Let me make this very clear. Whether it's a murder or kidnapping, the first people you look are the people closest to the victim. That would be family, friends, acquaintances, people that live in the house. Until you rule every single person out, every one of those people is a suspect. That's the reality of policing. So there's a lot of talk now about the family. As police went in and took one of the cars, one of the vehicles from the sister's house, they searched the septic tank in the back of Nancy Guthrie's house. Now, why would you search a septic tank? Many people don't know that in that part of Arizona, you use septic tanks. So when you flush something down the toilet, it doesn't go into the city sewer system. It goes into a septic tank. So if you're trying to destroy evidence and you flushed it, it would be in that tank. That's one reason why you would search that. Savannah Guthrie sisters, Annie's house has been searched. They went in with a silver briefcase that had celebrate on the briefcase. That is a company that specializes in gathering digital forensic evidence, meaning computers, cell phones, all of those things. Now, none of this means that they're targeting the family member. It only means they could be looking for anything relating to this, maybe even somebody close to the family. That in their communications would raise the eyebrows of an investigator. And maybe the family missed it. All of this can be included in this as we take a look at this now. Here to discuss all of this is retired Pinal county sheriff in Arizona, now candidate for congress out there. Sheriff Mark Lamb is back with us. Sheriff lamb, great to have you on the program.
- [06:40]
C
Good to see you, Grant. Thanks for having me on.
- [06:42]
A
All right, so, a lot to unpack here. You were sheriff of a neighboring county not far from from here. You and I talked over the weekend, and I said, this just doesn't seem like cartel behavior. I don't think they operate like this. You agreed with me. Could you tell me why?
- [07:02]
C
Yeah. Typically, the cartel, they know what they want. They've got money. They're very organized in it. They're going to give you the proof of life. Because in the end, what they want is the money. Very hard to reach because a lot of them are going to be outside of the United States. This just doesn't have the feel. I don't see the motive there. I don't see even the means or opportunity. Those are things you always look for. Means, opportunity, and of course, motive is how it ties all together. I just don't see it. For the cartels, this, to me, feels very different also. I agree. I don't know that these notes are even legit. These ransom notes, they're taking them serious. One, obviously, they charge somebody on it. These ones that they've been receiving that I think they're considering to be more viable, I still am very dubious of them. The $6 million figure throws me off. It's a weird number that you would ask for. And they failed to give any proof of life. So are they just trying to get the money and run, and they have to give some type of deadline for tonight to be able to do that? That's all things that goes through my mind. But the end, going back to your original question, I do not think this has a cartel element to it.
- [08:10]
A
All right, so I'm a believer. I'm sure, like you, that you don't negotiate with terrorists. And in some respects, these people are acting like terrorists. My fear is if she sends $6 million of Bitcoin to some random crypto wallet, you're going to see every high profile person now either getting kidnapped or ransom notes coming through and it's going to be the wild west out there. Yeah, I agree.
- [08:38]
C
And that's what I think when I hear of this one. That's kind of what I see. This could easily be somebody that just saw the video of the house, that gave some information that they took seriously enough to be able to enter, you know, try to engage with them. And the reason I think they're sending it to the media is also they've got the little bit of coverage under the First Amendment. Maybe the media doesn't share that information. And it's a lot harder for the FBI to go in and track those IP addresses is and where those messages might be coming from. But in the end, my gut tells me these are not legit people. And look, I wish I could tell you different, but it just, it doesn't feel right to me.
- [09:20]
A
All right, Mark, so there are a lot of people speculating about who a possible suspect could be, even though the police do not say that there is a suspect yet or even a person of interest. With that said, I actually think it's very reckless of those in the media to start naming their own suspects without police doing that. So I'm not going to do that on this. But I do believe that it's going to turn out to be somebody close to this woman, somebody that knew her, somebody that knew the house. Whether that's a landscaper, whether that's a friend or family member, I don't know. But I do think it's going to be somebody close. I don't think this is just totally random, do you?
- [10:03]
C
No, I don't think this is random either. And look, over 90% of these cases are usually somebody that's familiar or family. And so you've got to start there. You already brought that up. And that's who you're going to have to look at the closest. Who had the means, who had the opportunity. When you look at landscapers, pool cleaners, those people may have some of the opportunity, maybe even some of the means. But what would be the motive? Now you have to start to look and say, was there a financial motive maybe for one of the family members? Is it something else? But I, you know, it's hard because people don't want to hear this, but you do have to look at the family members as being those, those that that are the most viable suspects in a case like this. Here's what I do think. This case did not go the way whoever kidnapped her, if indeed she was kidnapped, it is not going the way they thought it was going to go. I think that the amount of national attention that they've gotten, the media coverage has got people this is not going the way they thought it would go. And now the message that Savannah Guthrie, I don't think the FBI or the law enforcement allows you to put out a message unless they are the ones kind of putting the stamp of approval on it. The first couple messages when you're in law enforcement, you saw they had a very the message was there. It followed a suit, a script, per se. Now this message is saying this is really targeted towards the people that might be involved in this because now they're getting anxious. Most of the time when we find bank robbers or crews of criminals, it's oftentimes because somebody gets anxious and nervous and then they end up turning on the other people involved. And that message, to me felt like a, a plea to those people saying, please help us if you can turn them turn, give us some information.
- [11:47]
A
Yeah. It certainly seemed more not that the other ones weren't from the heart, as you said, weren't as scripted and really trying to speak directly to them. Lastly, I'll ask you this because this is something that I've thought about a lot. I understand that Savannah Guthrie is high. Prof. I understand these cases. I look, I'm leading my show with these cases because of the mystery and intrigue of it, and people are really following this case. But I can't help but notice, Sheriff, there are hundreds, if not thousands of missing people across this great country of ours. Every day somebody goes missing, whether it's a teen runaway or an abduction, and you don't get the full force and resources of the federal government, and you don't get this kind of publicity to track it down. How do you balance that in law enforcement? You know, so everybody gets what they deserve from an investigation.
- [12:40]
C
Look, first of all, as a country, we are very invested in true crime. I do True Crime on YouTube. We love True crime. We love to follow it and see how things go. We all have an opinion on what we think might or may, may or may not have happened. But there are a lot of other victims, not just in Pima county, but across this country. Grant, I'm glad you said that, because I'm one of the few people, if not the only person, who has been actually I wish that the media would apply these resources and that local law enforcement and federal law enforcement would apply the same resources to the tens of thousands of children that go missing every year. And those families would love to have this same effort to find their loved ones. There is a lot of families sitting at home listening to us right now that are saying, I didn't get this kind of treatment. And I'm not saying that this should be, that we shouldn't do this for this family. I absolutely agree. But let's not let this be lost on us. Let us figure out a way that we can go after, especially the youth, the children that are kidnapped in this country. We owe it to those families and we owe it to society to go after and find, exhaust every resource that. To find them. Especially in lieu of some of the information that we've received this week from the Epstein files. It is a. It shows us we've got to leave no stone unturned when children go missing.
- [13:56]
A
Yeah, 100%, I agree with you on that. The website to help Mark out was running for Congress out there in Arizona. Mark Lamb, US Mark Lamb, Sheriff, always good to see you. Thank you for coming on tonight.
- [14:09]
C
Good to see you, too. Thank you.
- [14:10]
A
Absolutely. All right, folks, I want to turn now to the Olympics, which turned out to be. I don't know, this was a super. Excuse me, I'm not turning the Olympics. I'm turning to the Super Bowl. We're going to get to the Olympics in just a moment. Now to the Super Bowl. The NFL literally continued its rich tradition of pandering to the woke radical left. And it started from the very beginning when they insisted on performing the black national anthem. Well, you could put it in a two box as we, as we finish talking about the black national anthem here. Look, the reality is there's one anthem in America and it is divisive in my mind to come up with two national anthems because all you're doing is saying this is for this group and the other one's for this group. That's not how America operates. But the left doesn't, doesn't think like that. And then you had Bad Bunny during the halftime show. This was a performance filled with political messaging that was really, quite frankly, annoying. God bless America. Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Panama, Costa Rica. So as you can see, as you can see, it's all in Spanish and it starts out in what a sugar cane feel on a sugarcane plantation in Puerto Rico. And if you had kids watching this show, I'm going to Tell you right now, if you have kids watching my show, cover your eyes right now. Does anybody need to be watching the twerking? And honestly, that was the least of the problems. There was a lot worse shots than. Than just that. And then you had. You had a bunch of gay guys out there that were doing their thing as well. That's video 11, guys. The. The. Is there audio? No. Okay, so. So. So I don't know what that.
- [16:53]
C
We're.
- [16:53]
A
We're lost here. No, no big deal. The bottom line is Rav to the rescue, because Turning Point USA and Real America's Voice did the right thing and offered up their own halftime show, which was much better. My name is.
- [17:31]
D
Monday through Friday, we.
- [17:35]
A
Left your one.
- [17:37]
D
Race up your glass. All right.
- [17:54]
A
Much better than bad money. And it ended with this from Kid Rock. Cut 21, hanging from the cross. You can give your life to Jesus and give you a second chance. Ah, read the Bible, kids. All right, bringing in now to discuss all of this, chief White House correspondent Brian Glenn is with us. Brian, welcome to the program. What was your takeaway last night, Brian?
- [18:24]
D
Well, obviously, the bar had been set very low for all of us as far as what we could expect with the Bad Bunny performance, and I think that he met that low bar. Now, granted, I've got thick skin. I wasn't overly offended by it. But when you translate some of the lyrics, which earlier today I did, I'm not quite sure the FCC will approve of what was broadcasted out of that stadium yesterday. But thank God that Turning Point USA showed up. They heard the voices of America say when this thing was announced in October that Bad Bunny was going to perform at the super bowl, they stepped up with an all American halftime performance, and America watched. I was just going over some of the latest numbers I have here. It's in the tens of millions. And I think when it's all settles, we get to see exactly what the overnights look like. This thing is going to go in the record book. So I applaud everyone at Turning Point usa. It was just what I think we all wanted to see. Excellent performance by Kid Rock. Brantley Gilbert delivered as well. And of course, that last acoustic ballad by Kid Rock had people tearing up in the living rooms. But, Grant, I want to say this for a second. If people want to be mad at Bad Bunny, don't be mad at Bad Bunny. The guy just came off winning a Grammy. He's an artist. When he's hired to do something, he's going to do it. You may not agree with him who you should be mad at is the NFL. Grant, back in 2017, 2018, the permission, the keys to the kingdom, to produce the halftime shows for the super bowl was given to Jay Z. Roc Nation, his company, they just extended that contract that expires 2029 for an additional $25 million now. So he's responsible for the artists, for the production, and also for the other social justice initiatives that the NFL runs out Now. Grant, the NFL right now is in full fledged boat to make this a global sport. I have been against this initiative since they started playing games overseas. Next year, six games. Australia, Rio, Madrid, Mexico City, Paris and London. So buckle up, folks. These halftime performances aren't going to get any better as long as Jay Z and Roc Nation is in charge.
- [20:49]
A
Yeah, and to take the mantra of what you're preaching right here is it does go to the NFL because Jay Z is ultimately hired by the NFL and rock Roger Goodell.
- [20:58]
D
That's right.
- [20:59]
A
And Roger Goodell has to, has to sign off on all of this stuff. I don't know what he's thinking, quite frankly. Brian, I think they don't care. The money is flowing. It is so powerful. I didn't not watch the Super Bowl. I know there's a lot of people out there probably gonna get mad at me for saying, oh, I, I watched the Super Bowl. I'm not, I didn't boycott. I wanted to see which one of these two teams would win and how it would go. But they know the money's flowing and I don't think they care about the heart of their fans, which are guys like you and me, our kids, our families that really just want to see some football.
- [21:32]
D
That's all we want to see. But look at the core audience for the NFL there who watches these games. And according to the latest stats, 41% of Americans consider the NFL the national America's pastime, the official Sport of the U.S. not necessarily baseball, that's down there in a far second in baseball. And basketball is a distant third. So with that said, why would you do a halftime performance where everyone has to have Google Translate to enjoy the show and understand what they need? Subtitles, I guess. But thank God they didn't put subtitles in there, Grant, because people at home that could, they'd probably be very offended of what he was doing. But I don't. Once again, you can hate bad buddy all you want. I don't agree with the stance. I don't agree with his anti ice stance. I don't agree with a lot of Stuff that he stands for. But if someone comes to you and say, look, we're going to pay you some money, perform at the halftime, he's not going to say no. He's going to use it as an opportunity to push his social causes. Now, there were some messages in there that I did like he did. Somebody at least held American flag. That's a start. And they did have a marriage, an actual marriage during the Super Bowl. That might be a first time. I'll give them credit that it wasn't a same sex merits, that it actually was a traditional marriage.
- [22:54]
A
Was it two women? Anyway, before I let you go, this was the quote that I got from someone who sent this to me. The most obscene lyrics ever performed at the super bowl, once it was translated. Brian Glenn, we always appreciate you coming on. Thank you. As always.
- [23:09]
D
Thank you, Grant.
- [23:11]
A
All right, should I continue the show of disappointment in our athletes that represent America? How about the Olympics? This is Hunter Hess. I believe he's a skier.
- [23:26]
C
It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US Right now. I think it's a little hard.
- [23:32]
A
There's obviously a lot going on that I'm not the biggest fan of, and.
- [23:36]
C
I think a lot of people aren't. If it aligns with my moral values.
- [23:42]
A
There's a lot going on. Has nothing to do with moral values. Has to do with the law. And if you don't support the law, then you're morally inept. Okay, so we get that. They ought to send him home. If I was his coach, I'd be like, you shut the hell up. When you represent America, you want to talk about that kind of stuff, do it on your own time. When the taxpayers aren't funding you to ski in Milan, Italy. Okay? Go back home and do it on your local news, but don't do it after you've accepted an award. Amber Glenn, she's an LGBTQ figure skater. Listen to this. Yeah, it's been a hard time for the community overall under this administration. It isn't the first time that we've had to come together as a community and try and fight for our human rights. And really, what has been hard under this administration for. For gay and lesbians, queers, as she calls them, in this country. What has been hard? Now, if you're a youngster and you want to chop your breasts off or your nuts off, well, then it's going to get a little more difficult under this administration. But we're talking about kids. If you're an adult want to do that, have at it. As crazy as it sounds. But where for the gay and lesbian community? Has life really gotten hard under this administration? She's talking about Democrat propaganda. She's been infused with it because she too is a blind liberal zombie. Let me leave you with this, Lindsey Vaughn, because this is how you do it. Now, the poor young lady crashed and a crash like never before. But before she crashed, this is how you address what's happening. But the best thing I can do is is represent us well. And it is a privilege to be here. I don't take that lightly and I always do my best to to make our country proud. Thank you. And Lindsey Vaughn, you do make us proud, if not just for that statement of staying out of it all these other ding dongs have no business talking about things they know nothing about. All right.

For healing, learn more and sign the pledge@workingwithcancerpledge.com. Welcome back everyone. You want to see what happens when you elect a communist to be the mayor of the largest city of New York, of the of the country New York? This is what happens. This is Mamdani doubling down on the sanctuary city status of New York City. We have prepared 30,000 guides to New Yorkers rights in 10 languages, the ones most spoken by some of the most heavily targeted populations in our city. Teaching our neighbors what to do if ICE targets them. These guides are here today ready for you to take so you got how to guides to avoid ice to avoid federal law enforcement that is aiding and abetting a wanted fugitive of the United States of America and in fact hundreds of thousands of them in New York City. Zoran Mamdani ought to be arrested for that. This is him on police working with ice. I will always say clearly and directly what's in the best interest of New Yorkers. And I've shared that with the President in the Oval Office as well as with New Yorkers across the five boroughs, which is that I am the mayor for everyone who calls this city home. And as the mayor, we will follow the law of New York City. And the laws here also include our sanctuary city policies which forbid our police department to assist federal immigration enforcement. It's a ridiculous policy and that's not even fair to say. It's a dangerous policy that's getting people killed. Now clearly he does not support law enforcement of any kind. I don't know if you saw this case, but this was a New York City police officer who gets called to a domestic disturbance. He has to pull his firearm and he has to, in my mind, shoot to stop the threat of this deranged lunatic coming at him with a knife. Watch this go down.
- [30:16]

Put the knife down.

A
Put the knife down. Put the knife down. Put the knife down. Put the knife down. Put the knife down. Put the knife down.
- [30:34]
D
Put the knife down. Drop the knife.
- [30:36]
A
Drop the knife. That's called stopping the threat to save your own life. I don't know anybody who would not support the officer's actions when a man with a knife is coming to stab you to death. Except, of course, Mom Donnie. Listen, I spoke with the chakraborty family and I visited Chavez in the hospital. And there is no family should have to endure this kind of pain. Javez has lived with schizophrenia for many years. Jabez needs mental health treatment, not criminal prosecution by a district attorney. He went in a cop with a knife. Health issues are not. That's outside of what happened. You're going to visit a man who went to kill a copy. By all accounts, any reasonable person would suspect those are the allegations. It's on body cam and you back the suspect, not the cop. Sickening. I want to bring in now former New Jersey police lieutenant and retired U.S. navy intel officer. Our good friend Stephen Rogers is back. Stephen, welcome to the program.
- [31:45]
E
Thank you, Grant. Thank you.
- [31:47]
A
Stephen, what do you think when you hear comments like that from mom Donnie after watching the body cam video footage?
- [31:55]
E
Well, to begin with, here's a how to guide for people who don't want to become victimized by his policies. Get out of the city. Move out. Business, industry. Get out of that city. With regard to this incident that we just saw, I've been on hundreds of them. Police officers don't want to draw their weapons and shoot, especially during domestic violence calls. But the reason why the person has the knife out, they're either going to kill their spouse or. Or they're going to kill a police officer. And what the mayor needs to understand is that first of all, he has absolutely no authority to change what's law. That's up to the state Assembly. The law is you pick up a knife, you net down, becomes a deadly weapon, and guess what? You're going to pay the consequences. Hopefully not being shot, but ending up in a court of law. And you know what happens from there, Grant? It's the judge that makes a decision that is called a pretrial hearing to determine the mental state of the individual who was involved in that dispute. So I don't know what the mayor is talking about, but he does not have the power to do that.
- [32:53]
A
Let me play another clip for you from mom Donnie talking about what he thinks this should highlight and the need for, quote, a Department of Community Safety, whatever the hell that means. Roll cut six. A family that is enduring the kind of pain that no family should and an individual that has lived with schizophrenia for many years. And we have known of the need of a department of Community Safety prior to this moment. This only highlights the urgency of that need and to be able to deliver.
- [33:27]
F
It for.
- [33:30]
A
Lieutenant, I think what he's advocating for is sending mental health workers to calls that police officers normally go to. I'm going to tell you, Los Angeles has tried to this. In the end, what will happen is these mental health workers will be killed. What does a mental health worker do if the guy comes charging at him with a knife and has no firearm to protect himself?
- [33:51]

Listen, Grant, you're absolutely right. I've been on very, very good number of violent domestic violence calls. And boy, you send a mental health clinic in there, you're right, they will be killed. This, this, these policies of this mayor is dangerous, Very, very dangerous to anyone who gets involved. And I'll tell you what you're going to see real quick. You're going to see another massive number of police officers in New York resign. They're going to go to other states or retirement early. And frankly, it sounds like he wants to replace the police department with some ridiculous number of mental health workers that are going to be entering into these domestic violence calls. And let me add this. Any mental health worker that volunteers to even do that, they need mental health checkups. Because the fact of the matter is you really got to be out of your mind to put yourself in a deadly situation.
- [34:38]
A
You know, it's pretty amazing what the officer did here. At one point, he actually closed the door to put the door between him and the sus. He did not want to shoot this man. If he did, he would have never have closed the door. Your thoughts on the tactics of the officer? The only thing I worry about closing the door is now you've left an armed guy in there with his family.
- [35:01]
E
Well, exactly. But you know what? In this case, the officer saw him lunging forward. He did the best he could to prevent that. Maybe. What was the other alternative? To shoot him? And that's exactly what happened. But the fact of the matter is, is that these policies are dangerous. And somebody better step up in that city and put a stop to this mayor's policies or we're going to see more people killed. I'm not talking about injured. I'm talking about killed as a result of these policies.
- [35:29]
A
Yeah, it is quite frightening for the people of New York to live in a city now where this guy, I'm telling you, Lou, he doesn't want police even on the streets. I think if he had his way. I'll give you the last word on This, I think he'd do away with the police department altogether if he could.
- [35:45]
E
Well, he certainly would, but I've said it. When we opened up. Get out of the city.
- [35:50]
A
Folks.
- [35:50]
E
I'm not taking light of this. Your lives are in danger. And for those police officers, our prayers are with you. You need to get out of that police department and go to Florida like everyone else or every other state where that they back up the cops.
- [36:02]
A
Amen to that. Lieutenant Steve Rogers, Always good to see you, my friend. Thank you for coming on.
- [36:08]
E
Oh, you're a friend and I always salute you. Thank you.
- [36:10]
A
Absolutely. Well, the salute goes right back at you, sir. I want to play one more clip though about this because it's not just his inability to manage public safety in the city, it's his inability to manage garbage. You know, after the storm that hit New York, garbage is piled up everywhere. Now, you know, you say, okay, well he's the mayor, he's not out there picking up trash. But you gotta do something about this. This was on the Bill Maher show. I'm not a big fan of Chris Teletubby Christie, but here he is. How to do anything else when that.
- [36:43]
E
Was going on, didn't pick up the garbage you walk through.
- [36:46]
D
All my kids live in New York City. I've been there since the snowstorm. The, the garbage is piled up everywhere. But you know the one place, Bill, that is pristine, the garbage is gone.
- [36:56]
A
And the stuff, there's no ice even.
- [36:58]
D
On the sidewalk in front of Gracie Mansion.
- [37:04]
A
It's like in Los Angeles, Karen Bass's mansion where she lives. There's no homeless people out in front of it. Go figure. No garbage in front of Gracie Mansion. The homeless out in front of the mayor's place in Los Angeles. These people live like kings and they treat their, their underlings, the community, like garbage. To put it bluntly. International deputies. Deputies. International disputes. Inflation. Rising national debt. Digital currency. There is a never ending list of reasons why gold has risen over 700% in the last 20 years. And a never ending list of reasons why smart Americans diversify a portion of their savings into precious metals with Birch Gold group. Birch Gold can help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA and gold. Just text America to the number 989898 to receive your free info kit on gold. There's no obligation, just useful information. Text America to the number 989-898. All right. DEI policies were a huge factor in Biden era climate studies. We're going to talk about this Next.

Work supported me while I was going through treatment by not treating me like somebody who was going through treatment. Treatment sucks. Cancer sucks. Being engaged with work really helped to oh, I just knew I was going to beat this day. Research shows there is a significant connection.

Learn more and sign the pledge@workingwithcancerpledge.com. Welcome, welcome back everyone. We have more proof that Team Biden want to infuse diversity, equity and inclusion into everything, including its climate change reports. There was something called the National Climate Assessment. This was the fifth National Climate Assessment that the folks over at the Daily Caller got a hold of. And inside it was, you know, not surprising, but proof of just how these doomsday scenarios proliferated, about how the world was going to basically end if we didn't get a hold of climate change. I want to bring in now to discuss all of this. The Director of Democracy Restored, Houston Keen is with us. Houston, welcome to the program. Your group is the one that got these reports and insider emails. Why don't you tell me what struck you most about what you found?
- [40:52]
F
Hey Grant, thanks for having me. And you know, you're absolutely right. This is further proof that DEI was at the core of the Biden administration's approach to climate change. You know, the NCAA was known as the, the crown jewel of US climate science. And when you're including indigenous knowledge and science communications, when you're putting together the actual chapter and structure of this document, you're moving away from empirical science, evidence based science, and into the realm of pseudoscience. And unfortunately, that's what we've seen with the nca.
- [41:25]
A
All right, so it's interesting because at one point they say social science is science. Now social science is not science. What in the world were they talking about here?
- [41:39]
F
Well, it's, it's pretty insane to think about. You know, social science does, it does play an important part for us understanding our sociology. But when it comes to climate change, I mean, how do you square, you know, the impact of climate change on certain subs or how you square, you know, this DEI pseudoscience on, or sociology on, on different people and backgrounds to actual climate science which deals with the weather, it deals with geology, and it deals with a slew of other schools that are not that. Not sociology or sociology based.
- [42:15]
A
So this is. If you could go to number three for me, guys, behind the glass. This says from the report, quote, staffers for a taxpayer funded climate study were, quote, required to fervently embrace diversity, equity and inclusion DEI when assembling a team in 2023. So this is talking about being required. This actually matters, doesn't it, Houston?
- [42:43]
F
Oh, very, very much so. It's whittling people down away from meritocracy and a meritocrat to immutable characteristics like race and sex. It's wrong and it's, it shows just how deep this DEI rot went with, with our climate, climate science and with our government, you know, and it shows that this document, the ncaa, needs to be thrown out. This is just the latest red flag that shows this is not good research.
- [43:13]
A
All right, let me, let me take another clip here. Number four for my producer friends. This is from the fifth National Climate Assessment, NCA5. In addition to reducing risks to future generations, climate action can result in a range of near term benefits that outweigh the costs, with the potential to improve well being, strengthen resilience, benefit the economy, and in part redress legacies of racism and injustice. This is a doozy because it gets into two parts. One, the cost. You're upending an economy to have virtually no benefit when India and China are not doing anything to address climate change. And two, you're saying somehow that climate change has to do with racism and racial injustice, which I don't know how they make this connection, but they try to Houston.
- [44:05]
F
Oh, it's a very hard connection to make, but, you know, they really try to do this mental gymnastics they clearly didn't stretch for. And, and really what this boils down to is this is like snake oil.
- [44:18]
A
Right.
- [44:19]
F
They're looking for anything and everything they can to sell this stuff. And the consulting group icf, which was contracted by the US Federal government, which was we talked about and uncovered last year, with democracy restored, they provide climate solutions to clients, which means that they're making money off of the ncaa, that they help write and that they tell people how to write.
- [44:43]
A
Houston, has the Trump administration shut this down?
- [44:48]
F
So the NCAA itself has been shut down, but it's unclear how much of the policy is still impacting our stuff. And I assume the Trump. I don't know personally, but I assume the Trump administration has moved away from this. But we should be taking a hard look at any and all policy that was developed under this framework and these guidelines and give it the ax, frankly.
- [45:08]
A
Yeah. And a hard look at the holdover bureaucrats that clearly embrace this kind of ideology. Lord knows what they're working on now. Houston Keen, I appreciate you coming on as always. Great work from your organization. Democracy restored.
- [45:21]
F
Thank you, Grant, thank you for having us.

Welcome back everyone, and we've got some great news to report about our buddy Steve Bannon, coworker of mine right here on this network, Real America's Voice. You know, he was railroaded with this conviction of his and he took it like a champ, but he shouldn't have had to. And this conviction should be completely thrown out, overturned and and Bannon should have his record completely expunged. Apparently, this is what the Justice Department is looking to do. Here's John Solomon.
- [48:20]
D
But the Biden Justice Department, through lawfare, put both men in prison. And now the extraordinary act of the Justice Department going back to the Supreme Court, United States Supreme Court, saying, vacate the conviction, vacate the indictment. We were wrong to do this. And Steve Bannon is a victim of improper political prosecution.
- [48:43]
A
Well, I hope that happens. And with this Supreme Court, there's a good chance that it will. Now to the Epstein case. Well, Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's mastermind, remember this, every victim has said, that woman you see on your screen is just as culpable as Epstein was himself with all of the crazy things that went on. She was supposed to testify before Congress today, and all she did was take the Fifth over and over and over again. Here's James Comer. It was before his committee she was given an opportunity. We would have brought her in months ago, but she's indicated she was going to plead the Fifth. And unfortunately, she had an opportunity today to answer questions that every American has, questions that would be very important in this investigation. And she chose to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights. Well, what she's trying to do is hold Congress, the Justice Department and everything hostage. She wants clemency before she testifies. And she's made it clear that if she is granted clemency, then she will testify. I Am making it clear, do not give this woman clemency. I understand she may hold the keys to who's responsible for some of the heinous actions that we believe went on with Jeffrey Epstein. But you give her clemency. You're giving clemency, in my opinion, to a monster. Andy Biggs said that the attorneys for Ghislaine Maxwell did make a statement before the committee and this is what the attorneys had to say. According to our friend Andy Biggs, the.
- [50:26]
C
Attorney for for Ms. Maxwell said that.
- [50:31]
D
She has no indication and would say.
- [50:33]
A
That neither Presidents Trump or Clinton are culpable for any wrongdoing. And that's one thing they said in his opening statement to us today. Okay, I take them at their word when it comes to President Trump. There weren't pictures of President Trump. Like there are a Bill Clinton and some very compromising positions with Jeffrey Epstein. But again, we're trying to bring you all the information that we possibly can. Now on to a little update on the super bowl commercials that I know so many of you watched. You want to know the one that made me the angriest? It may actually surprise you because I actually like this guy. I was a huge fan of one of the greatest boxers of all time. That of course is Mike Tyson. Now why would this make me mad? I would eat anything.
- [51:27]
D
I was like £345, a quart of.
- [51:30]
A
Ice cream every hour.
- [51:31]
D
I had so much self hate when.
- [51:33]
A
I was like that, I just wanted to kill myself. We're the most powerful country in the world and we have the most obese, fudgy people.
- [51:42]
D
Something has to be done by processed.
- [51:43]
A
Food in this country. It's a great message. I agree with him on all that. Eat healthy. But here's the real deal. That commercial had to have cost the United States government $8 million. Why is the United States government. Why is the taxpayer of America not only paying $8 million for the commercial, paying for the production of it? And who knows how much Mike Tyson got for it? That's not what we need to be spending taxpayer money on when this nation, quite frankly, is broke. But thanks for the message, Iron Mike. It is a good one. Just not one I wanted to pay for.
- [52:24]
D
All right.

It's great for your sons or daughters as well, but it's another story. This is about a bartender being bold. He didn't want the halftime show on.
